Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Who Could End Up On The Iron Throne

4. Jon Snow

What? Are they going to just dump his corpse on the Throne and be done with it? Well, for starters that would probably be better news for the realm than seating Joffrey or Tommen up there. Jon's gone, a fact we all must deal with, but is he 'really' gone? You'll have no doubt read plenty about a potential comeback if Melisandre can work her magic, and if the remarkable turnaround does happen, you can fully expect him to be the show's main man. Death has ended his time in the Night's Watch, and now he would be free to trek the entirety of Westeros and beyond. Is his purpose to lead the North? Or would shock revelations about his parenthood see his allegiances change again? If the infamous, much-publicised theory about his beginnings are confirmed, then Jon could come back into a whole world of power. We've just got to hope and wait. And wait. And hope.
